The Advantages of Owning Your

Own Backyard Hot Tub

What does hot tub ownership mean to you?

Is it convenience, luxury, improved health?

Having access to your very own hot tub opens

many doors of opportunity. If you suffer from

chronic pain, hydrotherapy at home can make

every day more enjoyable.

If stress management is desired, a soak in the evening can help calm your mind,

lower your blood pressure and allow the cares of the world to float away. Did you

know that some people use their hot tub as a tool for battling insomnia?

Others enjoy lounging with friends and sharing a few laughs. The modern hot tub is

extremely versatile, meaning you can customize a spa to fit your needs and your

lifestyle. The following pages are a mere snapshot of the advantages to owning your

own backyard hot tub.

Improved Health - We all strive to look and feel our best, but as we age; many of

us confront chronic conditions like arthritis, diabetes or low back pain. Some of us

face weight gain, muscle stiffness, restlessness and fatigue.

Here are just a few of the ways using a hot tub can improve your health.

Relieve Pain

Did you know that using a hot tub in the

morning, before starting your day, can

banish most aches, pains, stiffness and

discomfort? Hydrotherapy has been used

as a therapeutic treatment since ancient

Japanese and Roman times.

Just fifteen minutes is all it takes to

relieve a tired, achy body leaving you

revitalized and refreshed. Massage penetrates deeply to alleviate pain, while heat

relaxes and soothes muscles and joints. Buoyancy, the feeling of weightlessness,

alleviates pressure on joints and muscles, and is exactly why the pain stops when

you slip into the heated water.

Decrease Symptoms of Type 2 Diabetes - Do you suffer from Type 2 Diabetes? A

study in the New England Journal of Medicine revealed that patients who use a hot

tub for thirty minutes, five days a week experience decreased symptoms, improved

insulin uptake and better sleep. Again, the hydrotherapeutic benefit of soaking in the

hot tub significantly impacts the body. As you relax in hot water, your temperature

rises, which causes a dip in blood sugar and in some cases, even weight loss.

Improved Sleep - Hot tub use is extremely popular for combatting insomnia and

other sleep related issues. An increase in body temperature while soaking promotes

relaxation and slows the mind. As a result, your body responds signaling the brain

that it’s time to sleep.




Manage Stress – Hydrotherapy is a recognized treatment for the stressors of the

day. Slipping into bubbling hot water will clear your mind and make the aches of the

day quickly vanish.

Family Fun and Entertainment - Family friendly activities can be expensive.

Finding things to do with the kids to keep them entertained and safe can also be

challenging. Owning a hot tub is an easy way to spend quality time with family from

the comforts of the backyard.

Love to entertain? Today’s hot tubs can entertain by themselves, but bring your

friends over, and enjoy the time together. And to think this fun is just outside your

door.

Summer Parties - Fire up the grill because a hot tub is the perfect focal point to a

summer outdoor barbeque. Let the kids play while you and a few close friends relax

and unwind in the hot tub.




It’s instant party when there’s bubbly, massaging water in the back yard. Plus, with

all kinds of entertainment features, modern hot tubs keep everyone engaged with

surround sound, LCD televisions and light shows that rival a Pink Floyd concert.

Girls Night In - Imagine inviting a few of your closest friends over for a night of

staying in, hot tub style. No traveling, expensive parking or traffic to deal with when

you can hit the hot tub for some laughs and great conversation.

Date Night Redefined - A romantic dinner down town? Maybe, but why go through

the hassle when you can create the most intimate and romantic setting right at home.

Couples who spend time together in the hot tub stay connected, and do it with little

effort.

Who, What and Where

There are three primary questions to ask before buying a hot tub: who will be using

it? What will it be used for? Where will it go? Answering these questions will help

you develop a clear idea for the type of hot tub that will fit your lifestyle best.

Who - Like hot tubs, owners come in all different shapes and sizes. Single

professionals, large families, even retired couples enjoy having on demand access to

a hot tub from home. Thinking through who will use your new hot tub will help

narrow your choices, and maximize your investment. In other words, if you live

alone, you may not want to invest in a unit that can accommodate 8 people.




On the other hand, if you expect to entertain a large extended family, a compact

model may not be a good fit. Think realistically and remember, the size of the hot

tub has nothing to do with how it performs or how much enjoyment you’ll get from

it.

What - A hot tub can resolve a variety of problems.

Whether it’s easing aches and pains, reducing stress

or simply having a quiet, intimate place to relax a hot

tub fills the bill. Make a list of the top three reasons

why you want a hot tub. Is it improved health?

Entertainment? Home improvement?

A model designed to optimize hydrotherapy looks

quite different from a party tub created for

entertaining a group.

When you can define why you want a hot tub, finding the perfect one will be easier

than ever. Modern hot tubs are equipped with all kinds of state-of-the-art features

for maximizing your experience

Where - Folks looking to purchase a new hot tub are typically excited to start

shopping, and for good reason. But few take the time to think about where it will

reside once it gets delivered. Unfortunately, you can’t move a hot tub as you would

a new sofa in your living room. Just like real estate, where the hot tub resides is also

about location, location, location!

Don’t forget about privacy! Those bushes that are lush in summer will likely change

come fall. Also remember to think about accessing controls, motors and anything

that may fall behind the tub.




Short-Term Price Versus Long Term Value

Is there really a difference between an inexpensive hot tub, and one that exceeds the

budget? The answer may surprise you. While there are certainly “good” and “bad”

hot tubs, only some of it has to do with price point.

Here’s the trick. If you understand the difference between short-term price and long-

term value, you’ll end up making a better decision in a hot tub that will stand the test

of time. After all, invest wisely and you’ll enjoy decades of hot water bliss.

How do you know the difference? Simply put, the best hot tubs combine comfort,

performance and style for an outstanding user experience in every way. This means

the seats are comfortable, easy to relax in, the hot tub runs efficiently, effectively

and looks sensational in your home.

Comfort - extends beyond seating arrangement because there needs to be enough

room to stretch your feet, lie back and embrace the massaging water.

Look for seats that offer the comfort you’re looking for. If you plan on using your

spa alone, be sure you can reach the control panel to access temperature, sound and

jet intensity easily and conveniently.

Performance - has to do with how the hot tub works. Look for energy efficient

features to save money long term like high performance heaters, pumps and

insulation. Quality components equal years of dependable performance and long

lasting durability. That means less maintenance, and more time to enjoy your spa

instead of worrying about getting it fixed.




Style - is unique to each hot tub owner, and that’s why it’s important for you to

decide which features and accents are most important to you. Modern hot tubs are

amazing when it comes to aesthetics with some rivaling what appears to be space

technology.

Keep an eye out for the extras that will enhance your experience. LED lighting,

waterfalls and entertainment systems can complement the unique ambiance you are

trying to capture in a home retreat.

Cleaning and Maintaining Your Investment

Hot tub maintenance and water care have been sore subjects when folks consider

buying a hot tub. However, there’s good news to report. Today’s models are easier

than ever when it comes to water care, and with a variety of available solutions, salt,

ozone, non-chlorine, and bromine.

General Maintenance - Of course, you will need to keep your hot tub clean on the

outside, and from time to time it makes sense to clean the seats, filtration etc. But

for the amount of enjoyment you stand to gain from using it, a few minutes here or

there is a small price to pay.




Selecting the Right Brand – What to Look For

Now that you have an idea of what you’re looking for in a quality hot tub to fit your

needs, how do you know which brand is right for you? Here’s what to look for.

Jet Placement and Comfort - Don’t be fooled by the number of jets in a hot tub. In

fact, jet placement is far more important for securing a relaxing, powerful massaging

experience. Again, make sure the seats are

comfortable and the positioning of the jets is right

by focusing air and water where you need them.

Performance- It is important to feel the massage through the jets. Put your hand in

front of the jet. How is the action? Beware of fancy claims of horsepower and jet

strength. Test the spa yourself so you are not disappointed.

A Quality Manufacturer Is Key - How do you recognize a quality hot tub? Look

for high-grade materials and craftsmanship, durable components and a brand that’s

recognized by a trusted dealer. Dealers with a solid reputation stand by products they

believe in, and you can too.

Safety - Finally, choose a hot tub that you can rely on to keep you and your loved

ones safe. Look for a model that has been listed by an independent testing company

like UL or ETL.

After the Sale – Select a dealer with a in-house service department, free water

testing, and a helpful staff. You will have many questions as you learn about your

spa. Purchasing from a reputable dealer will save you many headaches in the future.
